At this moment – 10 pm US Central time on Friday night – patches are only available for Win10 1709 (!), Win7, Win8.1, Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. The 1709 patch is documented. I don’t see any KB articles for the others – but that’ll likely change as the night wears on.

We’re still at MS-DEFCON 2. Don’t install them. Let’s see what wails of pain emerge in the next 12 hours or so.

Traditionally, August finds Microsoft in a mid-summer lull, with lots of folks on vacation and more than the usual chances of surprising screw-ups from second-string staff. It’s an excellent month to sit on the sidelines and see what problems appear with the latest round of Windows and Office patches.
